Tour To The Cathedral Of The Protection Of Most Holy Theotokos On The Moat (St. Basil's Cathedral)

The Cathedral of the Protection of Most Holy Theotokos on the Moat, which is usually called Saint Basil's Cathedral, was built by order of Ivan IV to celebrate the capture of Kazan in 1561. There is a legend, that when architects Barma and Postnik have finished building the cathedral, Ivan the Terrible asked them if they are able to build a Cathedral more beautiful than the first one. Ivan the Terrible was violent and frightening dictator, they were afraid of him and they said if he wants them to build, they will. Ivan blinded them so they can never build anything again in order to make St. Basil's Cathedral a truly unique in it's architecture.

The Cathedral has one highest church and eight side churches of different height surrounding the main one. It makes the cathedral look like a bonfire: churches are like flames, rising to the sky. Nothing similar was ever built in Russia.

The cathedral stands on the dais at the far end of Red Square, and when you come to the area, this majestic unusual cathedral with a square sprawling beneath him draws on all of your attention.
